Linux is a free Unix-type operating system originally created by Linus Torvalds. It runs on a wide variety of hardware platforms, from huge mainframes to desktop PCs to cell phones. Its functionality, adaptability and robustness, has made it the main alternative for proprietary Unix and Microsoft operating systems. No other operating system can even meet or touch the speed, reliability and the feature list that Linux offers. With over 100 different pre-installed features, Linux has become the preferred choice operating system for most web hosting services.

Highlighting some of its benefits or reasons why Linux could be the best operating system for you, are:

• It provides a complete development environment, including C, C++, Fortran compilers, toolkits such as Qt and scripting languages such as Perl and Awk.
• It also offers excellent networking facilities that further allow you to share CPUs, share modems etc; all of which are not included or available with Windows 95.
• It is steady, reliable in nature and operates effectively on almost any hardware.
• It also provides true multi-tasking facility where you can run more than one program at the same time.
